(19,564 posts)1. Here's the latest polling.
Washington, DC, October 10, 2022 The latest wave of our Reuters/Ipsos poll tracking the Russia/Ukraine crisis finds nearly two-thirds of Americans are closely following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Impressions of how President Joe Biden is handling the conflict are largely unchanged from earlier this year. Thirty-eight percent of Americans approve of how Biden is handling Russia (compared to 37% at the end of April), and 46% approve of how he is handling Ukraine (same as in April).
Two-thirds of Americans (65%) are concerned the war may escalate if Ukraine is provided longer-range weapons that could hit undisputed Russian territory, and 58% are afraid were headed toward nuclear war with Russia.
However, fewer Americans say they are worrying a great deal or a fair amount about the Ukrainian people than earlier this year (64% vs 69% in late April). Despite this, most Americans (66%) continue to support the U.S. providing weapons to Ukraine, although this is down seven points from late April (73%).
Also, compared to late April, Americans are less likely to support a candidate who advocates for continuing to provide Ukraine with military aid (69% vs 76% in late April) or one who supports Ukrainian refugees (72% vs 78%). Ultimately though, 73% of Americans say the United States should continue to support Ukraine despite Russia threatening to use nuclear weapons.

Support is reduced but still a solid majority for Ukraine.
